In this paper, authors propose a novel step-up AC-DC chopper operated with power factor correction (PFC) and with high efficiency. The proposed chopper behaves with discontinuous current control (DCC) of input current. The input current waveform in the proposed chopper is got to be a discontinuous sinusoid form in proportion to magnitude of ac input voltage under the constant duty cycle switching. Therefore, the input power factor is nearly unity and the control method is simple. In the general DCC chopper, the switching devices are turned-on with the zero current switching, but turn-off of the switching devices is switched at current maximum value. To achieve a soft switching of the switching turn-off, the proposed chopper is used a new partial resonant circuit. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of chopper is high.

planar circulator swith arbitrarily shaped ferrite resonators are analyzed in this paper. First, resonant frequencies and field distributions for the magnetized ferrite resonator are obtained using finite element method (FEM). Then the RF voltage distributions and other circuit parameters of the circulator which is formed by connecting three suitable transmission lines ot the ferrite resonator are derived from the green function . To remove the spurious solutions in analyzing the ferrite resonator, the results of eigenvalue analysis by node based FEM are comapred with the edge based fEM. The green function is expanded in terms of normalized eigenfunctions of th ecorresponding wave equation. Circulator parameters for circular disk resonator are clculated and compared with the analytical results. The experimental data for the designed circulator using hexagonal reosnator in the 850 MHz frequency range agree well iwth the simulated data.

The piezoelectric coupling in piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters with load resistance induces electrical damping as well as increase in the system stiffness. Starting from analytically deriving the explicit relations through governing equations in the frequency domain, this work identifies the characteristics of the electrically induced damping mechanism and shows that the electrically induced damping serves as a structural hysteretic damping on condition that a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester is excited at its short-circuit resonant frequency and its load resistor is optimally impedance- matched at the same time. Finally, it is analytically verified that the equivalence of a mechanical and an electrically induced damping ratio is required for the maximum power generation at a load resistor, which was claimed in some literature.

A modified 4-coil magnetic resonance wireless power transfer (MRWPT) system is proposed. Four coils based on 2-coil system with additional two matching coils were used in this topology. When Tx-Rx distance is changed, the input impedance is changed. However, it can be adjusted by coil parameters of matching coils to maintain impedance matching for maximum efficiency. The equivalent circuit of MRWPT system was analyzed for both transmission function and optimum coupling coefficient of the matching coils. By using four spiral resonant coils, these design considerations was experimentally verified. The measured data agreed well with the calculated data and the transmission function of the proposed system was more efficient than that of conventional 2-coil system.

In this paper, we would like to introduce two dimensional non-contact position sensor by using an electromagnetic induction based coil system and an algorithm to estimate the position of pointer. The sensor which will introduce in this paper is composed of a pointer including LC resonant circuit and a sensor board to detect the electromagnetic signal from the pointer. Because of the simplicity shape of the line antenna, low cost and free form curved shape of the sensor device is possible. In this research, we proposed a new two dimensional non-contact type electromagnetic sensor system and realized the proposed sensor device. From the experiments, the proposed device can be employed for the two dimensional position sensor.

In this paper, a new method which simultaneously gives the radiation conductance and susceptance of the rectangular microstrip patch antenna. This solution is derived from the load admittance of the equivalent ${\pi}-$network circuit of the slitted parallel-plate waveguide filled with homogeneous dielectric. Our theoretical results for the radiation admittance are compared with other theoretical results. Also, our theoretical return loss and resonant frequency which are calculated by use of the equivalent transmission line model are in fairly good agreement with the experimental results.

Bump bonded piezoesistive silicon accelerometer was fabricated by the porous silicon micromachining and th eprocess technique of integrated circuit. The output voltage of the accelerometer fabricated on (111)-oreiented Si substrates with n/n$^{+}$n triple layers showed good linear characteristic of less than 1%. The measured sensitivity and the resonant frequency was about 743 .mu.V/g and 2.04 kHz, respectively. And the transverse sensitivity of 5.2% was measured from the accelerometer. Also, to investigate an influence on the output characteristics of the sensor due to bump bonding, the values of the piezoresistors were measured through thermal-cycling test in the temperature variation form -50 to 120.deg. C. Then, there was 0.014% resistance changes about 3.61 k.ohm., so sthe output charcteristics of the sensor was less affected by bump bonding.g.

The solar cell has an optimum operating point to be able to get maximum power. To obtain maximum power from Photovoltaic array, potovolt aic power syste usually requres maximum power point tracking controller. The output characteristics of solar cell are nonlinear, and these characteristics vary with load solar insolation, solar cell temperature. Therefore the tracking control of maximum power point is the complicated problem. This paper presents power characteristics of residential Photovoltaic system applying a quck-boost conversion system.
